In the stillness of a spiritual journey, some books come as quiet companions - timeless, gentle and wise. Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse is one of those rare works. First published in 1922, this poetic novel follows the life of a man named Siddhartha, a seeker of truth and meaning during the time of the Buddha. Yet what makes his story so profound is that his journey is not about following others - its about remembering himself. Siddhartha moves through many phases of life: from the discipline of a Brahmin's son, to the renunciation of worldly possessions, to the indulgence of sensual pleasures and...
In a world that often chases perfection, permanence and completion, there is an ancient Japanese philosophy that invites us to pause and see the sacred beauty in what is natural, humble and ever-changing. This is the way of Wabi-Sabi - A spiritual path that speaks softly to the soul and gently reminds us to find peace in the present moment. At its heart, Wabi-Sabi is more than an aesthetic- it is a way of being. It teaches us to open our hearts to the fleeting nature of life, to honour the cracks in our stories and to accept the mystery of the...

Everybody has a conscience, it's that in-built sensor that tells us right from wrong. Some people act without conscience and suffer no remorse about what they do to others. The punishment these people receive on Earth is nothing compared to the punishment they will get when they die and in their next life. Those who treat people badly without concern for their feelings are in for a rude karmic awakening! Consciousness is the force that gives meaning to existence. It is the awareness that allows you to think, feel and perceive reality. But consciousness is not just confined to your mind-...

Karma is the universal law of cause and effect- what you sow, you shall reap. The trials and blessings of this life are a direct consequence of past actions. Those who inflict suffering upon others will inevitably experience equivalent hardships, while those who cultivate love and kindness will be met with divine favor. Reincarnation is the process through which the soul returns to the material world, each life offering an opportunity for growth and redemption. The circumstances of each incarnation are carefully chosen, ensuring that past imbalances are addressed and spiritual evolution is achieved. This is but a glimpse into the hidden...
Do you ever wonder what happens to us when we die? Let me tell you, physical death is not the end- it is a transition into the next phase of existence. Where do we go? What happens to us? We all go to the astral world, where there are several different planes of existence. The moment of departure is marked by an intense white light, a tunnel through which the soul ascends to the astral realm. Here each individual is greeted by a personal guide who assists in the acclimation process. That personal guide is a member of the same sex...
Within your etheric body exists a network of energy centers known as chakras. These centers regulate the flow of psychic energy throughout your being. Among them, the most potent is the Kundalini, symbolized by a coiled serpent at the base of the spine. When spiritual enlightenment is attained, this energy ascends through the chakras, culminating in a state of divine consciousness. The deliberate awakening of the Kundalini is not without peril. Premature activation can result in severe psychological and physical imbalances. True enlightenment unfolds naturally, guided by spiritual discipline and a sincere pursuit of higher knowledge . Beware of those who claim...
Beyond the threefold mind, you also possess three distinct bodies: The Physical Body: Your tangible vessel, allowing you to interact with the material world. The Etheric Body: A subtle energetic duplicate, storing impressions and habits from your earthly experiences. The Astral Body: The essence of your true self- the immortal soul that transcends physical existence. At the moment of death, the astral body separates from the physical form, transitioning into a higher-dimensional existence. However, many individuals experience partial separations during deep sleep or near -death experiences. This phenomenon, known as astral travel, allows the soul to explore realms beyond the confines of...
